"Life throws a lot at you sometimes and you have to deal with it as much as you can. That's why you have family and friends and co-workers to help you with that," he said.

"I've been very fortunate that throughout the most recent 24 hour period, I've had a lot of family and friends support me. I guess that's all I will say about that," he added.

When asked whether his recent rehab stint was the result of playing dark characters for long periods of time, the 44-year-old actor said, "Obviously there can be a lot of discussion about how much of this is related to that and honestly I don't have much to say about that either.

"I've said in varying ways that acting can be a difficult endeavour, certainly not as difficult as the recent example I used of being a baby heart surgeon. But, it does present its own challenges and so does life."
